Odd Tablet Question: Charger?

[thegoldenmackid]

So I was randomly thinking about this yesterday, how do you think this device is going to charge? Via a 30 pin connector - that might look a tad bit awkward (like the iPod and the Wall of Sound.) The only other alternative would be a Magsafe, Apple could use something more standard, but when's the last time a portable device didn't use a 30 pin connector or a Magsafe (or the older power adaptors and their unique design.) Anyone's guesses?

A docking station seems logical, but I have to imagine that you'd be able to charge it without the docking station.

I think it will use the same connector as the iPhone via USB and the USB adapter that charges the iPhone/iPod Touch will charge the thingy.

This will be due to synching with your computer library.

I think it will look like a gigantic version of the iPhone, iPod charger. J/K

Everything will be wireless, including the charger.

Is it possible it could be charged via mini-usb?

I remember vaguely a while back something about a new standard of chargers (phone chargers (?), in europe (??)).

If dock connector, then that. If not, then a charger like MacBooks. LightPeak might do charging come 2011.

This makes the most sense by far. (No Sarcasm) It would look really weird see a connector of any sort IMO.

Inductance?
